7 Corners
7 Corners is an alternative rock band hailing from the Chicago suburbs. With influences such as Incubus, Foo Fighters, Porcupine Tree, A Perfect Circle, and Linkin Park this band gracefully side-steps the mundane predictability of the modern rock scene by rekindling that certain flair brought about by mid-90's post-grunge bands that has been all but lost since the turn of the century. Inspired instrumentation seasoned with elements of progressive rock serve as a backbone for their infectious vocals and haunting melodies, preventing musical cliches from ever setting foot in their sonic space. If you haven't heard this band yet, you should probably get on board.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
7 Corners began in 2000 as a creative outlet for Eric Binder. One demo was released independantly in 2003 (Oxidation EP), and is now out of print. Fellow bandmates Vijay Ramasami, Bill Karmia, and JJ Jung were added in 2009/2010. We are currently working on our first EP due out sometime in 2011.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, currently we play shows in and around the Chicago area.
